Performance of a High-Speed Spectrographic System.

Abstract

A high-speed streak spectrographic system with a time resolution of about 100 microseconds, which is the prototype of the instrumentation to be used for obtaining early-time spectra of bomb light during Operation Hardtack, has been field tested. The results obtained were highly satisfactory, especially with regared to sensitivity at low light levels. The results thus indicate the possibility is good for obtaining spectra with reasonable optical density during Operation Hardtack. (Author)
